Conference Calls

You can initiate and manage up to 12 audio conference calls on the RealPresence Trio 8800. You can also
place video conference calls with contacts and view video for up to six participants. See the section
Calls for more information on video conference calls.

Tips for Conference Calls

When you are in a conference call, follow these tips:
● Mute your microphone when you are not speaking, especially in noisy environments.
● Avoid tapping the microphone or rustling papers near the microphone.
● Speak in your normal voice without shouting.

Initiating Conference Calls

You can initiate a conference call with four contacts, and you can also hold, resume, or split a conference
call. The RealPresence Trio 8800 can manage a maximum of 12 active or held conference calls at a time.
However, you can have only one active conference call in progress with numerous other conference calls
on hold.
If your system administrator enables the Conference Management feature, you can manage each
participant in the call. With the Conference Management feature, you can mute and remove individual
participants in a conference call. For more information, see the section
Participants.

Initiate a Conference Call

You can initiate a conference by adding a contact during an active call and merging the contacts into a
conference call.
To initiate a conference call:
1 Call a contact.
2 After the contact answers, tap Add
The call is held.
3 Enter another contact's number or select a contact from Contacts or Recent Calls.
The contact is added to the conference call after answering.
